Their primary purpose is usually encrypt the connection between different endpoints… by creating virtual private networks…

When we talk about "E2EE" messenger apps, that usually means more than just using HTTPS. VPNs can certainly help with encryption in transit, but that's a very different concept.

Unfortunately this comes up a lot, with people asking if Immich supports end-to-end encryption and getting told to use LUKS or Tailscale.
